INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - An Indiana woman who contributed to Barack Obama's campaign has won a chance to have dinner with the presidential hopeful.

Bonnie Locchetta, a single mother of 3, says she's been following Obama since his 2004 speech at the Democratic convention. She donated $25 to his campaign.

Locchetta says she plans to ask Obama about economic issues, including the cost of college and prescription medications.

Obama's campaign is offering an "intimate dinner with Barack" to four supporters who donate money to his campaign by Monday. A date and location for the dinner, along with the three other guests, are still to be determined.

3. So, I just donated --

mainly in reaction to the high roller Clinton donors' attempt to extort compliance from Pelosi and Superdelegates. I would be thrilled to be selected to have dinner with the venerable Obama, of course -- probably to the point of utter dumbness -- but would feel guilty about being there instead of someone who has, or will have, grandchildren to pass the story to.

On the other hand, there is such a thing as living with guilt!

6. I'd like to be at that dinner.

A few things I'd like to talk to him about:

Prosecution of war criminals a must for the future integrity of this country
Community service work release programs for non violent prisoners
The broken education system and why it's like a minimum security prison

that's what comes to the top of my head
